[GP] Réveillon & New Year's Eve & Check-In
Emma had said, during Winter's Crest, that she missed a tradition from home called réveillon. She seemed also to miss her cousin, as Lillith missed hers. Since she wished both to learn to cook and to be of comfort to her friend, it had been decided they would make a réveillon dinner for New Year's Eve.
Yet when Emma began to lay out the courses -- oyster soup and potato & leek soup, salad, a gumbo, venison roast, cheeses, and creme brulee, plus several hors d'ouevres not yet decided -- Lillith quailed at the size of the undertaking. Surely she would wish someone to assist who could contribute more than roasted rabbit, wheat or potato flour dumplings, and koláč.
Since Sunny likewise missed her family and would certainly wish a distraction, when she entered the cafe where they were planning, the other two seized upon her almost at once. Sunny could hardly resist their dual entreaty, even had she wished to, and Lillith thought she seemed even more ready for company than previously. Of course Sunny had offerings of her own: jolloff rice, peppered chicken, and fried plantain.
Between they three, the planning and the cooking were very nearly merry, and Lillith kept them liberally supplied with champagne (her personal favorite), too. By late afternoon of the eve of the new year, they had begun lining tables with dishes, and enlisted the help of other friends to make the evening event widely known.
Of course, in addition to the réveillon feast that took over the steakhouse, alcohol flowed freely, lights sparkled brightly, the nightclub had music for dancing. And at some point the Inn or Caroline or Regina hung mistletoe from several of the primary entrances and exits so that unless one wished to or was unaware of the tradition, no one (not even any new arrivals) need greet the new year unkissed.

Re: Assigned Threads
But that wasn't something he wanted to keep thinking about.
"And you, where does your enhanced strength come from?"

Re: Assigned Threads
Well damn. The big dude was perceptive, it seemed. A little smirk played on the corner of his lips. He couldn't help but be a little impressed. "Alright. That's fair." His eyes subtly scanned around them to see if anyone was eavesdropping. When it became apparent everyone else was doing their own thing, he continued. "So I might have a little extra strength. A little extra a lot of things. Not exactly the same as your group. Didn't come by it naturally." Well, not really anyways.
Re: Assigned Threads
Non-natural strength wasn't a foreign thought for him. Maybe he was given a super soldier serum. He certainly didn't have the physique of Steve Rogers, but that didn't mean anything.
It could be from some sort of drug, something like Banshee that worked for humans.
Didn't matter much here either way.
"Did you come by them willingly?"
Re: Assigned Threads
Alec let out a small laugh despite himself. "Depends on your opinion. Like if you think a fetus is capable of giving consent or not."
Re: Assigned Threads
Re: Assigned Threads
"Then, nope. No by choice. Then again I probably wouldn't be born so I guess I can't complain, huh?" He shrugged as if it was no big deal and for the most part, it wasn't. Alec had come to terms with who and what he was a long time ago, unlike Max.
